Paralysis, characterized by the inability to feel or move a part of the body, often stems from damage to the spinal cord or nerves. If an infant experiences paralysis during birth, it could be a result of medical malpractice, necessitating investigation by a skilled birth injury lawyer in Los Angeles.
There are generally two primary reasons for birth paralysis due to medical negligence. The first is the doctor’s failure to promptly respond in cases of breech or challenging deliveries. Delaying a cesarean section (C-Section) or other urgent delivery methods can lead to reduced blood flow to the baby’s brain, potentially causing cerebral palsy and paralysis. The second reason is improper delivery techniques leading to nerve damage in the infant’s limbs or spinal cord, often seen in shoulder dystocia cases or forceful extraction from the birth canal.
The severity and location of a birth injury can lead to various forms of paralysis, ranging from mild to total paralysis. Common types include:
Parents facing a child’s paralysis or other birth-related injuries must prepare for a lifetime of medical care and therapy for their child. Such parents often grapple with worries about their child’s quality of life. It’s crucial for them to examine the prenatal care and delivery process to ascertain if medical professionals contributed to the paralysis.
At ACTS LAW, our team of birth injury attorneys specializes in assisting families to scrutinize medical records to identify potential medical negligence. If a doctor’s actions are suspected to have caused the child’s paralysis, families are informed about their legal options. Since long-term care for paralysis can be costly, if a medical practitioner is at fault, their malpractice insurance should cover the child’s future medical expenses.

In my 35 plus years of business experience, I have never met more knowledgeable, responsive professionals. My cases were settled in record time with extremely satisfactory results. All legal advise I received was spot on and very proactive. Could not be more happy w/ the services and advise received.
I am so impressed with Atty Terry Bailey. I needed a 2nd opinion on inverse condemnation case. He was knowledgeable, experienced and just as important, very human in dealing with my dilemma. He took the time to listen and understand the issues relating to my property damage caused by county negligence and never rushed me or interrupted me. He listened carefully and understood, it was very clear how experienced he is. I highly recommend Mr. Bailey.
Yes, they did a great job at handling the home insurance case. Knowledgeable, smart and diligent. Always on top of things. Great communication. But they were more than that. Great advisers to us as well. And not full of empty promises, but with real understanding of what is possible and what is not. Nice to have someone who does not over promise, just over delivers.
